Patek 6000G-012 vs. JLC Reverso vs. Rolex Yacht-Master

Watch_kha_wen · 2016-06-08T13:27:09Z

Watch_kha_wen seeks advice on choosing between Patek Philippe 6000G-012, JLC Reverso Tribute Duoface, JLC 1931 Ultra Thin, and Rolex Yacht-Master 37mm for a small wrist.

Watch_kha_wen seeks advice from the community on choosing a single watch from a shortlist of four luxury timepieces, considering a small wrist size constraint of 37mm for round watches. The discussion revolves around the Patek Philippe 6000G-012, Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface, Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso 1931 Ultra Thin in pink gold, and the Rolex Yacht-Master 37mm.

Amongst the 4 watches which one would you go for if you could only have one? (I have a tiny wrist so can not go more than 37mm for the round watches)

Key Points from the Discussion

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface is highly recommended for its perfect fit on a small wrist, dual faces, and useful complication, making it essentially two watches in one.
The manual wind movement of the JLC Reverso Tribute Duoface is not considered a drawback by some, and its sophisticated, stealth appearance in metal is a significant draw.
Rolex models, particularly the Yacht-Master, can appear larger than their listed size due to lug and bezel design, which is a crucial consideration for small wrists.
The Patek Philippe 6000G-012's blue dial and mechanism are appealing, but its price and shiny strap are noted as potential cons.
The Rolex Yacht-Master 37mm is seen as too sporty for office wear, despite the desire for a Rolex.
For different occasions, the Yacht-Master suits water and summer, the Patek 6000 is for casual wear, and the Reverso Tribute Duoface is ideal for dress shirts.

If it fits you well, and it sure seems to, the reverso tribute duo is one gorgeous piece to go for. The pink gold reverse is nice too, but the blue tribute duo is so nice... That Patek does nothing for me; same for the Yachtmaster (except for the new RG version, I never have appreciated the Yachtmasters). This message has been edited by vitalsigns on 2016-06-08 14:03:01

Well here are my pros/cons JLC: pros:I tried the JLC Tribute and I loved it (it's my wrist on the pictures) the size was good compared to other reverso that look a bit big on me. cons: manual wind... Patek: pros: size is perfect and I love the blue dial + I love their mechanism cons: price and the strap is shiny (I know I can easily change that) Rolex: pros: always wanted to have one, first one in 37mm which should fit me but have not had a chance to try it yet as it's not been released cons: a

Manual wind cannot be a problem, it is a detail which makes you feel closer to your watch.

And there are less and less manual winding movements. I would not consider it as a problem. Best, Nicolas
